Does seem strange how they are such a hazard yet they are allowed in most other countries
Who said they're allowed?

I'd like to know how many people around the world have had asthma attacks as a direct result of smoke bombs; also if any fires have started as a result of them. I think they look quite atmospheric and would allow them if there was no evidence of them causing harm or danger. Flares and fireworks though are a no-brainer, despite being very common at games overseas. These pyros burn very fiercely while, as far as I'm aware, smoke bombs burn fairly slowly.
Interesting too that televised matches on Sky have fireworks (or once did, if they don't now). I recall clouds of smoke coming off of these and drifting into the stands but don't recall there being any outcry.
Well the amount they are used I just assumed they were. I have got better things to do with my day rather than look up if the Italian, Turkish etc FA's allow flares and all that.
So why did you make a statement that they're allowed in other countries. Can we assume then that you were guessing?
hahahahaha this is a forum mate we aren't in court
I'm not condoning smoke bombs in football stadiums nor was I denying that they are illegal in football stadiums (I probably should have made that more clear) I was just wondering if and when they are illegal outside of football stadiums which is admittedly unrelated to this thread.Try looking at the signs on the wall outside the ground by the turnstiles as you go in, they clearly state it is illegal.
Thanks, I was aware that they were illegal inside football stadiums was just wondering when and where they are illegal outside of football stadiums.There was an article linked to the other day where it was mentioned you can get a 3 month sentence for it.
Its not illegal to run on the pitch at a sunday league game, some things are just legal issues at sporting events.
Just because you can use smoke bombs in certain situations (plumbers use them) doesnt mean they are legally used anywhere.
No from me for two reasons. Firstly I sit in block V with my asthmatic brother and even I found it unpleasant. Secondly, a small puff of blue/white smoke drifting through the stand looks a bit ****.
No, they're a health and fire hazard.
How do you start a fire without a naked flame?!

And how would you do that?
